Summary

Pivot Charter School - North Bay is a public K-12 charter school in Santa Rosa serving 437 students, but it faces significant challenges with graduation rates, student attendance, and academic performance that are far below state and local averages.

The school's most pressing issues are a very high dropout rate of 51.2% and chronic absenteeism affecting 58.3% of students, which are dramatically higher than nearby alternative schools like Heartwood Charter (3.0% absenteeism) and Orchard View (0.0% absenteeism). Academic proficiency is also the lowest in the area, with only 10.71% of students proficient in math and 29.07% in English, compared to much higher scores at similar schools. While the Pivot Charter School - North Bay District serves a population with significant economic need, other schools like Roseland Charter serve an even more disadvantaged student body yet achieve far better outcomes.

Performance data shows considerable year-to-year instability, and the school spends less per student ($11,843) than most comparable schools. This combination of factors suggests the school may require significant intervention, particularly in improving student attendance and academic support systems, to better serve its students.
